Are you on the Electrical Audio board by chance? I just saw this today on there.

I SWEAR, THESE ARE THE ONLY TWO 'BOARDS' I FREQUENT, I SWEAR.

These pictures are astounding. I am honestly going next year. Honestly. I'm going.

"Well, if I put an apostrophe after the first 's' and one BEFORE the second 's', chances are one is gonna be right. Better not take any chances. I would hate to look stupid."

I have about twenty captions for this awesome photo and that one was the nicest. The others were oh so mean. SO mean.

I bet this makes Andy proud. I can almost hear the ceaseless calls of "Boomer Sooner!" and "Woop Woop!" echoing from that campsite.

Also, from the looks of things, there's a lot of cottage industries popping up all over The Gathering, filling the gaps the vendors leave for Rees'e's Cups, Bottled Water (http://www.derekerdman.com/ilovemilkshakes/august2009/DRK_CRNVL/66.jpg), Jello Shots (http://www.derekerdman.com/ilovemilkshakes/august2009/DRK_CRNVL/23.jpg), Photo Transferred T-Shirts (http://www.derekerdman.com/ilovemilkshakes/august2009/DRK_CRNVL/42.jpg), Roasted Corn (http://www.derekerdman.com/ilovemilkshakes/august2009/DRK_CRNVL/22.jpg) and... Necro-Bestiality (http://www.derekerdman.com/ilovemilkshakes/august2009/DRK_CRNVL/72.jpg)? Whatever they're selling, it looks like the two main currencies are the United States Dollar and Breast Flashing.

Post by: Keith Whitener on August 17, 2009, 06:55:25 PM: What that performance needed was everything that was at the Gathering to happen again. Like it's the last level of Double Dragon and the audience needs to make it through the motocross, JJ Walker, Cotton Mouth Kings, and Helicopter ride all over again before they can make it to the ICP.

Also, how does this thing not have a demolition derby and monster trucks? There should also be a renfair, LARPing, and a vintage car show.

I like the sign that says "In debt with dealer. Save a Ninja's kneecaps! Anything helps. Whoop whoop."

My goodness I love that.

Last night my wife and I sat down to watch Insane Clown Posse: A Family Underground and also live tweet the experience. I don't want to spoil any of it for those who haven't seen it yet but I was at various times, amused, shocked, saddened and horrified by it and then kind of encouraged by it. It's a fascinating 90 minutes.

Post by: Amplituden on September 10, 2009, 10:58:02 AM: From Pitchfork Today : Andrew WK Pelted by Rocks and Bottles at the Gathering of the Juggalos!

Pitchfork: I saw online footage of you getting yanked offstage at the Gathering of the Juggalos last year. That didn't look like a lot of fun.

AWK: It was incredible. It was absolutely overwhelming in ways that I never could have imagined. But I am extremely grateful. I didn't have the chance to play, but I actually did have an incredible, life-changing time.

Pitchfork: How so?

AWK: I've had things like that happen before, playing before really rowdy audiences. That wasn't so new; what was new was being in an atmosphere that one band, or one record label, or one scene, or one mindset has created out of sheer will. It was completely autonomous and completely what they wanted to do. That was extremely inspiring. It's mind-blowing how someone with enough desire can build something so huge that brings joy to so many people.

Pitchfork: So you didn't mind that the audience didn't treat you well?

AWK: Well, I still don't really know how to interpret it. The audience was throwing stuff around and screaming, acting really rowdy all day with every performer. So it wasn't clear to me. I've played before crowds in Europe where that kind of reaction is considered a particular kind of support or almost a kind of initiation. I don't know how to interpret it, but I was just glad for a very passionate response. That's really all you can ask for-- to get energy back from the crowd.

Pitchfork: Did you get pulled off the stage? It was hard to tell what was going on.

AWK: They said it was an insurance reason, that I had to be removed from the stage for my own safety. I think when people were launching bottle rockets and large boulders, they decided that for my own welfare-- and the welfare of the insurance company-- that it was best to stop. That was really wild. I didn't realize it during the show, but I have to take their word for it that it was. Afterward, the next day, I realized I was covered in bruises. I didn't feel anything like that happening during the show. Once I start playing-- I'm sure many people relate to this-- I go into a place that's so driven by adrenaline and by the music that there's a superhuman state that you're in-- not necessarily above human, but definitely using all your resources. It's a very athletic, physical place to be. I wasn't processing everything that was happening.

From Pitchfork Today : Andrew WK Pelted by Rocks and Bottles at the Gathering of the Juggalos!

Pitchfork: I saw online footage of you getting yanked offstage at the Gathering of the Juggalos last year. That didn't look like a lot of fun.

AWK: It was incredible. It was absolutely overwhelming in ways that I never could have imagined. But I am extremely grateful. I didn't have the chance to play, but I actually did have an incredible, life-changing time.

This guy is almost too good to be true.

Post by: iAmBaronVonTito on September 10, 2009, 12:00:51 PM: during Andrew WK's early days, i couldnt stand the guy (it was the song). however, after reading articles about him and seeing him on television, he's grown on me by leaps and bounds.

in fact, i think he'd make an excellent FOT. weird?

Post by: yesno on September 10, 2009, 12:08:33 PM: Andrew WK is awesome and his music is awesome. I Get Wet was one of the 5 best albums of 2001, which was otherwise a pretty shitty year both for America and for rock music. His later stuff is a little more uneven. Still he manages to do energetic fun music without slipping into pastiche.

It looks like Samir posted this in another thread. Sorry for not noticing that. Feel free to delete this one if it confuses things lest the two threads fight like Juggalos and Maggots.
